Its NOT Dubstep BUT DRUMSTEP!!! >:(

It happens waaay to much that people confuse some of my songs to Dubstep even though i mainly make DrumStep.

But on the otherside i cant blame you it does sound alot like Dubstep but sped up. And that´s what it is! Also DrumStep is more instrumental. Its pretty much Drum And Bass with a Dubstep beat pattren and Wobble basslines.

So until a admin decides to add a Drumstep gerne to the list in the AudioPortal. I am going to upload all my DrumStep Junk to the Dubstep category.

With all honesty, sub-genres are just an absolute piss-take and waste of time for me.

The amount of sub-genres there are and how many times the contradict each other and continue multiplying

E.g:
acid trance
acid house
funky house
acid D&B
fidget house
breakbeat
jungle
breakbeat hardcore
happy hardcore
hardcore
funk
jazz funk

Y'know? It just goes on and on, and is insanely annoying, tedious, confusing, and pointless.
On my iTunes, I separate my songs into different catergory genres.

Pop/Rock/70's
Drum & Bass/Jungle/Dubstep
Electronica/Dance
Anime/J-Pop

Yes knowing exactly what gerne your listening is not very important. But its still not a bad idea to know what you are listening to. Like you said you have:
Pop/Rock/70's
Drum & Bass/Jungle/Dubstep
Electronica/Dance
Anime/J-Pop

Those are the main gernes. But what if a song was made and you cant really fit it in the main gernes? So! Its probly a new gerne!
But i agree with you people shouldnt go Hardcore on the sub-gernes. But people should still know what the heck there listening to. ;)

I agree with Hysteria, Dubstep has enough differences in it to warrant its own genre.

Drumstep, not so much

YouriX 2010-10-26 09:59:37

Yes DrumStep is not a very well known gerne. I cant say if its growing in popularity or if its eventually going to die out. But you cant ignore one when you hear it. Like this DrumStep mix from Pendelum called WitchCraft (Rob Swire DrumStep Mix).

although drumstep has been around longer than dubstep, it's not really an offshoot of dubstep. It's alot more influenced from DnB

YouriX 2010-10-26 10:41:59

Yes i guess thats why i like it so much :3

FatKidWitAJetPak 2010-10-26 13:02:46

Lol, who the fuck cares what he calls it. If he wants to call it drumstep let him call it drumstep. Personally, I only believe in sub genres such as Drone being a sub genre of Ambient, or Trance and Techno being a sub genre of Electronica. I dont believe in combining like ACID DRONE OMFG thats just not what a SUB GENRE is.

YouriX 2010-10-26 13:02:46

LOL Yeah but it IS DrumStep :3

MindChamber 2010-10-26 16:06:30

Drone is not a sub genre of ambient.. its fucking ambient.

YouriX 2010-10-26 16:06:30

Anyways i got the youtube vid on my newspost. You have to check it out its pretty orgasmic :0

NegativeONE 2010-10-26 21:13:50

Man, no one really gives a shit about this anal overclassification of genres except for the people making the music. You can't expect people to care or do hours of research to make sure that they're referring to the correct subgenre four tiers below anything acknowledged by music store shelving. A chef is not gonna storm out of the kitchen and take your soup because you forgot to call it a bisque.

YouriX 2010-10-26 21:13:50

Hey dude i just wanted to give people a heads up. And yes YES! I do want people to spend hours of research to know what the heck there are listening to >:(

xKore 2010-10-30 15:55:26

actually they arent drumstep

drum and bass and drumstep are at 170-175bpm. your songs are at 150-155bpm. they are marginally closer to and sound more like dubstep tbh bro.

YouriX 2010-10-30 15:55:26

Well i always thaught that Dubstep was between 90 - 140bpm So any higher would make it a different gerne. So i assumed it was DrumStep. Wich i still strongly believe. ;)

xKore 2010-10-30 17:13:35

yeah but its not tho

YouriX 2010-10-30 17:13:35

Yes it is. :P

xKore 2010-10-30 18:59:06

no its not

YouriX 2010-10-30 18:59:06

Yes it is infinity!

S3C 2010-11-02 10:57:31

xKore- SHUT THE FUCK UP

YouriX 2010-11-02 10:57:31

Yes it is! Oh wait... XD

With all this "Genre vs Not=a-Genre" battling, it's as simple as this. Drumstep is more like Drum & Bass over Dubstep. It retains the fast pace and constant hi-hat-ness, but the kick/snare are at half time. If anything it's more related to Darkstep at halftime since the wobble is supposed to be prominent in the song.

I think you could blame the general population for constantly creating a new sub-genre by changing the smallest thing:

Drum & Bass
+ Vocals = Jazzstep
+ More technical snare hits = Techstep
+ Intense amounts of evil sounding bass = Darkstep
+ Cutting the kick/snare onto the half-beat = Drumstep
...and then there's another 10 or so with small changes like that.

Sure it's okay for something that stands out.. but if you do all of that above in one song, what the hell is is supposed to be? For all I care I'll put it in Country or something just to see how many people would complain what genre it really is. Simply place it in whatever stands out the most in the song and leave it there. If anyone complains, let them do their own research...

...or use the miscellaneous category, but it's messy in there.
